Completely agree that the particular bit of code shouldn't have been relying on that functionality. A totally reasonable response would be "Oh, sorry, I had no idea people were using that in that manner." Fine, fair enough. But! It was known that people were relying on that behaviour and it was mentioned in the changelog. That is a big point in favour of Jeremy as a package maintainer. Not only does he know how his code should be used, but he has an understanding of how people are using it in the wild. That's wonderful and praiseworthy. Where I get grumpy is that this was seen as a significant enough event to mention to the humans who happen to be reading the changelog. Yet, it wasn't deemed appropriate to tell all of the computers that are installing dependencies about it.
